Scott Dunlap's blog of trail running, ultrarunning, triathlon, and other life adventures. I enjoy the physical, emotional, and spiritual journey of outdoor events and the chance to meet cool people. This blog contains interviews, research, original fiction, new product ideas, and all things trail running.

"Ultra running is a metaphysical event," (Yiannis) Kouros explained. "If you don't have that kind of idiosyncrasy, you will never become an ultra runner, even if you train all your life. I am one of those people who recommend and try to inspire people to get involved with running. But ultra is not a fun-running sport -- it's only for unique souls."

Ultra is not a "fun running" sport? I think Yiannis needs to slow down and carry a camera. ;-)

If Yiannis slowed down, the post-race food would have gotten too cold. :-)

Hey Scott, you own a pug right? I'm now a new owner of a puggle (pug/beagle mix) puppy and I'm curious on how your pug is able to run with you. I know the beagle side of my dog is a runner purely by genetics, but the pug side from what I understand is supposed to be more calmer (lap dog). How did you get your pug to be a runner (and an ultrarunner at that)?

About Me

I'm a technology entrepreneur who took up trail running and triathloning back in 2001 to get off the work treadmill and see a bit more of the outdoors. I also love to eat, so the exercise helps me justify those extra helpings. ;oP I'm always interested in learning more about trail running - please comment and link away!
